I&rsquo;m fully aware that the Steelers have racked up 5,948 total offensive yards and they have arguably the best receiving cadre in the league. At last check they ranked third in total offense in NFL, but what would Haley do without one of the league&rsquo;s best Quarterback Receiver tandems and a proficient running attack?</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>Could Haley take a team with significantly less and produce the same results? In other words can he produce a playoff contending team without the luxury of talent on the Steeler&rsquo;s roster? If you&rsquo;re a team that wants to make a significant investment in a head coach I ask that you look at Haley&rsquo;s performance in critical situations this season.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>I would urge any front office to take a close look at the Steeler&rsquo;s close defeat against their division rival Baltimore Ravens. Even though the Ravens are in the bottom 15 in the leagues for pass defense they managed to hold the Steelers to under 20 points in both division games. The Steelers air attack was grounded at critical junctures throughout the game.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>In 2014 we suffered embarrassing defeats against division rivals in Baltimore and even in Cleveland, but any team considering Todd Haley should consider his performance under limited circumstances.&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>When Big Ben was out, they played a very tough game in San Diego. At a critical point in the game Big Ben drew up an offensive play and we reported:</div><div>&nbsp;</div><blockquote><div>Startling revelation that injured Pittsburgh Steeler Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger drew up the explosive 72 yard Michael Vick pass to Markus Wheaton in last night&rsquo;s thrilling victory over the San Diego Chargers.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>Immediately before the game winning run by Runningback Le'Veon Bell; they received instructions on the play by Ben Roethlisberger; which begs the question, what is the role of the true Offensive Coordinator, Todd Haley in Pittsburgh since Ben Roethlisberger call his own plays under center?&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp;</div></blockquote><div><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/imFxaCxRRTc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>Big Ben also said he factored in the fact that he knew Michael Vick likes getting out of the pocket when drawing up the 72 yard play. Why did it take Big Ben to utilize Vick's strengths?</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>Big Ben was very disappointed when Haley arrived as the offensive coordinator, so I&rsquo;m guessing he won&rsquo;t be devastated if he departs. Big Ben usually controls the discussion when he zips to the sidelines in critical game situations and I would argue that it&rsquo;s because he has too much control of the offensive strategy and execution due to Haley&rsquo;s inefficiency.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><p>It&rsquo;s easy to win 10 games in this league with the league&rsquo;s best running back, quarterback, and wide receiver. There is zero indication in my mind that Haley has the capability to win with less.&nbsp;</p>2015-12-31 11:37:11http://www.enewsreference.com/index.php?p=details&articleId=7240&title=can-a-head-coach-todd-haley-win-with-less-talent?Whole Foods to pay $500,000 for overcharging NYC customers<img src="articleImages/7234.jpg" width="100" height="100" /><p><p>It was the story that, over the summer, ushered in a season of discontent with the grocery store chain nicknamed by its critics &ldquo;Whole Paycheck&rdquo;: the accusation that Whole Foods had overcharged some New York customers for, among other items, produce and pre-packaged fresh products.

I can&rsquo;t say, we couldn't do it without technologies that continue to make life easier for marketers, but we can all say life would be much harder without automation in this business.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>If you woke up in the morning and had 130 updates to contend with, without the convenience of tools to make life easier, it would put a damper on your day. Google&rsquo;s algorithm continues to demand more useful content that browsers gravitate to; it is a winning formula, because subscribers like enriched and meaningful content and it enhances the value proposition around your product or service. It is essential to understand your marketing segments and your audience&rsquo;s relationship with your brand(s).</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>When you&rsquo;ve honed this relationship, content becomes valued beyond measure. The mission at Online eBusiness Solutions is to deploy relevant content directly to subscribers that value the message in return. This is a godsend.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>My sung heroes in this hourly task are the following:</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>1. WordPress &ndash; I love you so much WordPress. My clients are engaged and increasingly fight message wars on their own because of you. It&rsquo;s simply a matter of getting on their cell phone and putting their expertise out there. On some days you can line up a litany of ideas about your brand, review industry news and simply say &ldquo;Hello Dolly.&rdquo; It integrates with number 2&hellip;</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>2. Hootsuite &ndash; has become an indispensable tool that I won&rsquo;t start my day without. Being able to sync your WordPress tools, industry news with your RSS/Atom Tool and Social Media, all while collaborating with your team, is a celebration of sorts. It allows small organizations to speak as though they were giants.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>3. Google Analytics &ndash; it converges a lot of my favorite tools&hellip;Google AdWords, Webmaster Tools and Google AdSense. Tracking automated reports and understanding your market penetration scientifically and tracking conversions gives you a breath of knowledge that took ten employees and a lot of logged travel time 15 years ago. All of the critical data integrated seamlessly to increase your ROI.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>--</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><em>Vern Nicholson has pioneered comprehensive Digital Marketing Campaigns that utilize SEO, Social Media Engagement, Video Production and Advertising.

I describe it as that angel on my shoulder.</p><p>Here are the definitions online:</p><p><strong>Guiding Principle</strong>: an idea that influences you very much when making a decision or considering a matter &ndash; <em>Cambridge Dictionaries Online</em></p><p><strong>Mission Statement</strong>: a statement of the purpose of a company, organization or person, its reason for existing. &ndash; <em>Wikipedia</em></p><p>My impression on Mission Statement was there to old fogey. They&rsquo;re usually pinned up on a wall and ignored. I instituted several Guiding Principles and started every presentation off with what it wase. We condensed it into our &lsquo;Three C&rsquo;s&rsquo; (Comprehensive, Consistent and Concerted Efforts) and then went on to describe what each word meant for my business with enormous success.</p><p>So this is my discussion for my LinkedIn group.
